Eom Ki Joon and Bong Tae Gyu Cameo in Shooting Star to Support Yoon Jong Hoon as the Drama Starts to Wrap Up a Less than Stellar Run

A Koala's Playground Posted on June 4, 2022 by ockoalaJune 4, 2022
Two men in various conversation poses.

April and May was light for me on dramas to follow and one reason was that tvN Sat-Sun drama Shooting Star (Sh**ting Stars) was so underwhelming. It may have gotten better but I didn’t like the first two episodes and that was enough for me. I did tune in from time to time to check out the parade of K-ent … Continue reading →

Romantic interactions between three characters.

This may end up being the highlight of this drama, lol, what with the complete disappointment so far in not getting either ratings or buzz. tvN Fri-Sat entertainment industry drama Shooting Star (or Sh**ting Stars) started with ratings of 1.632% and has stayed in that range with a slow slide even with the most recent episode 7 dropping to a … Continue reading →

Well, it looks like the weekend ratings bonanza is over for the time being now that the first batch out of the 2022 gate is over and the current crop unable to match the same audience interest.

Whomever decided to give tvN Fri-Sat drama Shooting Star the official English title of Sh**ting Stars deserves to be flogged. The moment I laid eyes on it I read it a shitting star because hello why else blank blank two letters if not because it’s a bad word.

Couple sharing a moment on set.

The star falls in love with someone in his/her entourage has been done to death in K-dramas but when done right remains a compelling well to mine interesting situations and dynamics. One of the best was On Air, one of the underrated Kim Eun Sook dramas, and one of the OTPs was the top actress and agency president. It sounds … Continue reading →

Young couple holding nail polish together.

Seeing Lee Sung Kyung and Kim Young Dae collaborating in a new fashion pictorial, it’s clear both have model backgrounds because it’s a visual lesson in how to pose and preen, Models have one second to deliver an impression whereas acting is longer and more varied, so some models suck at acting because every image appears stiff and posed. I … Continue reading →

Woman in different work scenarios with expressions.

I remember K-actress Lee Sung Kyung working nonstop with at least a drama a year after her debut and breakout right off the bat in It’s Okay, It’s Love.

Colorful promotional poster for a drama series.

Wow, this drama actually looks good! Or maybe just the teaser looks good, but it looks enough that I’m suddenly sitting up and fully taking note of upcoming tvN Sat-Sun drama Shooting Star. It’s set in the entertainment industry but takes the caper approach rather than the more drab and minutiae take of Record of Youth. There is hijinks galore … Continue reading →
